Title: Improvements in Heat Engines for Transforming Heat, Cold and Mechanical Work.
Inventor: ALTENKIRCH EDMUND
IPC: F25B30/04
Filed: 1912-08-12
Granted: 1913-08-12
Abstract: 16,834. Altenkirch, E., and Tenckhoff, B. Aug. 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Vapour-engines. -Relates to machines for transforming heat, cold, and mechanical work of the general type set forth in Specifications 18,511/12 and 16,833/13, and consists mainly in employing an auxiliary absorber as the condenser and an auxiliary evaporator as the refrigerator, thereby obviating the high pressure due to the ammonia in the condenser at the cooling-water temperature. Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically, with pressure and temperature as ordinates, a plant in which vapour from the generator b is absorbed in the auxiliary absorber c from which rich liquor, leaving by a pipe l and exchanging heat with liquor from the auxiliary generator d, passes in counterflow through the auxiliary generator to the cold end and enters it through a valve. The weak liquor is forced by a pump t into the pipe m, exchanging heat with the liquor in the pipe l, and passes through the auxiliary absorber. Vapour from the auxiliary generator passes to the main absorber a and thence to the main generator in the manner described in the above-mentioned Specifications. A cooling - water system i is provided, and useful cold is removed by a brine coil n. In a modified arrangement, the auxiliary absorber is cooled by means of part of the cold produced in the auxiliary generator, partial exchange of heat taking place between the two auxiliary chambers. By reversing the, operation of all parts, heat at high temperature may be generated from a heat source at a lower temperature, as shown in Fig. 3, wherein gas from a main generator b goes partly into a working-cylinder o driving the liquor pumps, and partly into an auxiliary absorber c, with which are associated an auxiliary generator d, with a temperature range overlapping that of the corresponding absorber, and a main absorber a. The heat generated at the hot end of the auxiliary absorber c is used to heat any required system w, and the heat generated at the cold end is partly applied to the auxiliary generator by means of an exchanging-pipe k and partly to heat initially the generator - heating fluid in a coil h.. A cooling-coil i is provided for the absorber. In place of ammonia liquor, other binary or more complicated mixtures may be used, such as liquid air or brine. An example is given of a reversible heating-plant for steam boilers in which a large drop of temperature is converted into heat by means of one working- cylinder, the heat produced in the absorber of a water-vapour absorption machine being used to drive a reversed ammonia absorption machine, the auxiliary absorber whereof heats the water generator. The principle of counterflow may be applied to the above-described machines in order to realize the polytropic cycle described in Specification 18,511/12.
